Chapter 264: Dragon's Heart
South Den.
"Master, the inspector of the capital asks Meng Yan to see him!"
"What about others?"
"Waiting outside the door!"
"Go, announce him in, I really wanted to summon him, but I didn't expect him to come by himself." Zhu Qizhen stood up from the dragon chair and stretched his waist.
"Whoa!"
"Wechen ......"
"Get up, it's cold on the ground, and your thigh still hurts." Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and motioned for Meng Yan to step forward and speak.
"Thank you!"
"How about it, can I give you this errand?" Zhu Qizhen asked.
"Holy Lord, this messenger you gave is easy to do, but difficult to do." Meng Yan bowed his head slightly.
"How?"
"It's easy to do, as long as you say a word, Wechen is naturally overcoming thorns, people block killing, Buddha blocks killing Buddha, but if there is no support from you, then Weichen can't do it even if he has great ability!" Meng Yan Road.
"This I understand, you don't know how difficult it is for me to re-examine Bai Suxin's will, there are people below who oppose it, and there are also opinions in the palace, but I really hope that I can do something to let the world see, I am not a child who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun!" Zhu Qizhen said.
"The saint has lofty aspirations, which is the blessing of the people and the blessing of the Ming Dynasty!"
"The Queen Mother has a very bad impression of Bai Suxin, so I persuaded her to agree to come down and let you investigate first, if you can't come up with real evidence, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for next autumn decision, and Bai Suxin will be beheaded." Zhu Qizhen said.
Meng Yan sighed in his heart, he couldn't say anything. How can this matter of human life be decided by personal likes and dislikes?
Now it is the Ming Dynasty, a feudal society of all evils, but it is not a civilized society ruled by law in later generations.
"How long did the Queen Mother give her old man?"
"A month."
"One month, this is too short, Holy Lord, this is almost the New Year, and the spring break alone is only half a month, too tight?"
"Yes. Meng Aiqing. In fact, you only have half a month! Zhu Qizhen nodded.
"By the way, I've heard that you're moving quite fast, and you've already set up the yamen preliminarily?" Zhu Qizhen said.
"It's not because of the Holiness. The Criminal Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate did not embarrass the ministers. Meng Yan said.
"Bai Suxin's case. I've been paying attention. How about you send someone to me every day to send me a message and I want to know how the case is progressing every day? ”
"Wechen will definitely do it."
"That's right. There is a royal history to participate in your misconduct, and you have close relationships with many women with a bad reputation, but is there such a thing? Zhu Qizhen asked.
"No, absolutely not." Meng Yan flatly denied it.
"It's good if you don't, I don't want you to ruin your reputation, so that you can give people a handle to attack!" Zhu Qizhen said.
"Wechen understands!" Meng Yan nodded.
"By the way, did you have something to do with me?"
"Yes, Wechen almost forgot, Wechen entered the palace to give you a gift." Meng Yan slapped his head.
"Gift-giving, you guy, what good things have you come up with?" When Zhu Qizhen heard this, his mood suddenly improved a lot.
"Look, Holy One." He took out a box of fragrant pancreas hidden in his robe and handed it over.
"Isn't this just an ordinary piece of fragrant pancreas? What's so special? "As the emperor, how could Zhu Qizhen not know Xiang Pancreas.
"Holy Lord, don't underestimate this piece of fragrant pancreas, it sounds different from what you have used." Meng Yan offered treasure road.
"What's the difference, you think I use the same as ordinary people's?" Zhu Qizhen couldn't look at it.
"Smell it, how does this fragrant pancreatic compare to the smell you've used?"
Zhu Qizhen seemed to be a little unbearable to hit Meng Yan, picked up the fragrant pancreas and put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Hey, it's so fragrant!" ”
"Do you smell it again, compare it to the other?"
Zhu Qizhen took it under his nose and sniffed it again: "Well, there is no smell of smell, and Meng Aiqing, how did you do it?" ”
Although the fragrant pancreas made in the palace also tastes very fragrant, there is always a smell that cannot be eliminated, and many concubines do not like to bathe with fragrant pancreas.
"Saint, this is Weichen's little secret, what do you think of this fragrant pancreas?" Meng Yan smiled and sold a pass.
"Yes, I just don't know how it works after using it?" Zhu Qizhen asked.
"The saint can find someone to try it out, and you will understand what Weichen said." Meng Yandao, no matter how good he is, it is better to prove it by actual use.
"Just one piece?"
"The manufacturing process of this fragrant pancreas is relatively cumbersome, and Weichen only brought eighty yuan, four types, and handed them over to Gonggong Jin!" Meng Yan Road.
"Okay, it's still Meng Aiqing, you think about me in your heart, I accept this gift." Zhu Qizhen said happily.
"In addition to this, Weichen also has a gift, but the manufacturing process of this gift is not mature enough."
"Oh, what's it, take it out for me to see?"
Meng Yan clapped his hands, and the two little eunuchs walked in carrying a wooden box and placed it on a round stool.
"Holy Lord, please look."
"This is a glass cup, so beautiful?" When Zhu Qizhen saw it, he was greatly surprised, and there was an almost transparent cup neatly placed in the box.
"Holy Lord, this is the glass."
"Glass, what's the difference between that and a glass cup?" Zhu Qizhen asked.
"Colored glass is a by-product of bronze smelting, also known as ancient glaze, and the glass made by Weichen is made by directly mixing and heating and melting minerals to remove impurities, and the process is different." Meng Yan briefly introduced.
"The inner court and the inner palace supervisor have an outer factory for manufacturing glaze in Boshan, and there are a lot of utensils they have made in the palace, with many colors, but all of them are so transparent, Aiqing is really a monster!" Zhu Qizhen picked up a glass and exclaimed.
"These are just crude products, not transparent enough, some have impurities and bubbles, and when these problems are solved, we can create more transparent glass!" Meng Yan Road.
"Not bad. Yes, I like this set of glasses very much, Aiqing has a heart! Zhu Qizhen couldn't put it down.
"Shengshang, Weichen celebrities have made twenty lampshades out of glass according to the size of the lampshades, please smile at the saints!"
"Lampshade?"
"Look, this is it!" Meng Yan took out a lampshade from another box and handed it to Zhu Qizhen.
"Holy Lord, the walls of this glass lampshade are relatively thin, mainly to increase light transmission. So yours handle with care! Meng Yan reminded.
"Kim Young. Replace it with. Zhu Qizhen took it in his hand and looked at it, and handed it to Jin Yingdao.
"It's really a lot brighter, this night I read the book, it's much more convenient to review the fold!" After changing to a glass lampshade. This dragon case is above. The square inch of land suddenly became much brighter. Much stronger than the previous silk lampshade!
This glass lampshade is not only transparent, but also not afraid of the wind, especially the most important thing. Not afraid of fire, the silk lampshade will catch fire as soon as it touches the spark, which is very unsafe.
"Okay, very good, Meng Aiqing, just because you made this glass lampshade, I should reward you well!"
"Wechen don't dare, it's the duty of a courtier to solve problems for the saint, and he shouldn't ask for any reward." Meng Yan said busily.
"It's hard for Aiqing to take credit for being like this, and he doesn't invite rewards, and those people still talk in my ears all day long, when did they think about worrying about me?" Zhu Qizhen was angry when he talked about this.
"Shengshang, Weichen doesn't understand the principles of governing the country, he can only fiddle with some gadgets, so that Shengshang can use it comfortably and happily."
"If only they were like Meng Aiqing, you think so!" Zhu Qizhen likes Meng Yan's loyalty and intimacy more and more.
Where to find such a courtier, and he is still so young that he can go with her.
Although Mr. Wang is good, he is not a peer after all, and even if he understands and is familiar with his temperament, it is gradually drifting away.
"Wechen retires!" This topic cannot be deepened, there are many eyes and ears in the palace, and if it spreads, he will inevitably become a public enemy of the government and the opposition.
Coming out of the palace, it was not early, Meng Yan went to Nanya again and gave the resent gift.
Then Cai Jin came to find it, and the two went to Beiya together, saying that they would go to the edict to see Liu Ji'an.
also brought two boxes of food, one box for Niu Dali, and one box for Liu Ji'an, in the prison of the Criminal Department, although Liu Ji'an tortured him to the fullest, but people did not treat him badly, and the wine and food were also entertained to a table.
What's the matter, he has to return the gift, otherwise it will be too petty.
"Old cow, what are you drinking?"
"Ouch, Brother Meng, Master Meng, why did that gust of wind blow you here?" Niu Dali, who was drinking a little wine, looked up and saw Meng Yan with a smile on his face, which was called a joy.
However, although Meng Yan is a hundred households, he can withstand the errand of the inspector, and he is also a five-grade official, which is one level higher than his Niu Dali's deputy thousand households of the fifth grade.
Therefore, Niu Dali was full of emotion in his heart, although this is said that there are people in the court who are good officials, but Meng Yan's promotion speed is also fast.
From a six-grade trial hundred households to a five-grade inspector all of a sudden, others need at least three or five years, but he is good, less than three months.
Is it luck, luck is only a part, and the strength and ability of others, the more things are provoked, the more officials are getting bigger, if you change to someone else, you will stop eating early.
"I brought you some food to drink, and in addition, I found someone to drink with you!" Meng Yan smiled and carried a food box in front of Niu Dali.
"Master Meng, you are so busy, and you still take the time to drink with Lao Niu, that's really embarrassing." Niu Dali.
"It's not me, it's Mr. Cai!" Meng Yan hehe, this Niu Dali was obviously mistaken, and pointed to Cai Jindao behind him with his hand.
"Mr. Cai, it's good, it's good!" Niu Dali smiled, not half dissatisfied, Cai Jin is Meng Yan's brain, and he can't ask for it if he can drink with Cai Jin.
"Old Niu, I want to see someone, how about you give me an hour?" Meng Yan leaned down and whispered in his ear.
"Who?"
"Liu Ji'an."
"Master Meng wants to see Liu Ji'an, no problem, I'll say hello." Niu Dali didn't hesitate for a moment, and agreed to come down!
A prisoner like Liu Ji'an is locked up in the Imperial Prison, which is not something that anyone can see if anyone wants to, on the one hand, to prevent him from colluding with people outside, and on the other hand, it is also for his safety.
Although there are many prisoners who have died in the Imperial Prison, but now the Jinyi Guards are re-establishing the rules, and whoever commits a foul will be punished.
Of course, some rules are dead, and some people can be exempt from rules, such as Meng Yan.
"According to the rules, I have to fill out a prison visit form, Lao Niu, I can't embarrass you!" Meng Yan Road.
"Okay." Niu Dali knew that with this prison visit record, Niu Dali was at most a violation, not a violation of discipline. (To be continued......)
